About Michelle
Michelle Simon is a Minnesota psychologist with 33 years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, grief, anxiety, anger, and other life transitions. She focuses on respectful, practical care and tailors sessions to each person’s needs.
Her approach blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. That means conversations are shaped around the person in front of her while also using straightforward strategies to change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
She often helps people build confidence, manage stress, and cope with difficult events. Michelle has worked with issues that touch families and parenting, including divorce with children and new parent concerns. She also brings experience around caregiver stress, communication problems, codependency, and midlife or career shifts.
She aims to make next steps clear when situations feel stuck or overwhelming. Sessions are adapted to each person. Some people want a warm space to talk and be heard.
Others want specific tools and exercises to practice between sessions. Michelle combines listening with practical steps so clients leave with things they can try in daily life. She practices in Minnesota and conducts sessions in English.
Her style is patient and solution-oriented, with an emphasis on small, achievable changes that help people regain balance and move forward.

How Michelle’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in the room. The therapist listens deeply, follows each person’s concerns, and helps them find their own solutions. This approach is useful when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to make sense of feelings and choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It uses simple exercises and practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, anger, low mood, and problems that recur in day-to-day life.
Choosing the right approach is a joint effort. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what works. That means sessions can be exploratory at first and then more structured as needed, depending on the client’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes fitting therapy into a busy life easier. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text let people send messages between appointments or use therapy when they cannot be on camera. These options give flexibility while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
